Welcome to the World little lion - another tulle window card

This is the 3rd tulle window card featuring the "A Wild Thing" stamp set. - this time focusing on the lion.


Supplies Used:
Stamp:  A Little Wild, Baby Bear
Inks:  Black Memento, Blendabilites
Papers:  Whisper White, Coffee Break DSP
Accessories:  5/8" Burlap ribbon, White Tulle (non SU), Little Love Framelits, Clear of Wink of Stella, Stitched Square Framelits


Baby Elephant Tulle Window card

Yesterday I made a tulle window card featuring the bear from "A Little Wild" stamp set.

Today I made 2 other tulle window cards featuring the other 2 "wild things" from that stamp set - the elephant, and the lion.

This post will focus on the elephant alone.  It makes the cutest baby boy card.


The elephant was stamped on Whisper White  colored with blendabilites then die cut and set aside.  Because the front and back halves are attached together, after die cutting I cut the two pieces apart and set them aside.

On a top folding Whisper White card base, I temporarily adhered a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Coffee Break DSP to it and then die cut a stitched square aperture in the upper part of the card through both layers.

Separating the layers, some tear and tape adhesive was added around the edges of the square aperture on the card front and on the wrong side of the DSP.  I also added some tear and tape adhesive around the rest of the card front about 1/4" from edge and on the back of the DSP close to the edge.

After adhering the white tulle around the square aperture, the two card layers were added together.  The card front now has a tulle window in it.

The front of the elephant was added to the front tulle window using tear and tape adhesive.  Then opening the card, the back side of the elephant was adhered matching up the image outlines.


Some 3/8" shimmer pool party ribbon was wrapped around the card below the window and the stamped sentiment adhered over the ribbon using dimensionals.

Three balloons were punched using the balloon builder punch and sentiments from the "Baby Bear" stamp set added to two of them.  Some metallic pool party baker's twine was strung from the balloons to the nose of the elephant.

To finish, some Clear Wink of Stella was added to the balloons and part of the elephant.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  A Little Wild, Baby Bear.
Inks:  Black Memento, Blendabilities
Papers:  Whisper White, Coffee Break DSP
Accessories:  3/8" shimmer pool party ribbon, square stitched framelits, white tulle (non SU), Balloon Builder punch, metallic pool party baker's twine, Little Love Framelits.

A Bear in a Window - SUO Challenges #200



This week the challenge with SUO challenges here is to create a card with a critter or animal  on it.

There were so many possibilities to choose from, but I elected to use the stamp set "A Little Wild" and because these images have a "front" and "back" they are perfect for mounting onto see through tulle windows.



After adhering some Coffee Break DSP to an Early Espresso layer which  was then adhered  to a top fold Shimmer White card stock base, I die cut  a square aperture using the stitched square framelit die.  This square opening was covered by a piece of tulle using tear and tape adhesive applied close to the aperture edges on the card front.


The DSP layer was then added to the card front, after which I made Whisper White frames to add around both the inside and outside window.


The images were stamped on Whisper White, colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen, and then die cut using the "Little Loves Framelits".  The little bees were fussy cut by hand.

Tear and tape adhesive was used to adhere the front of the bear on the tulle of the card front as well as the bee hive and the flower.  The extra bees were located near the hive, and one landed on the bear himself.  An extra bee was placed on the inside of the card.



Open the card, and the back of the bear was adhered over the front.  I colored and die cut a second flower to adhere over the front one, but for the beehive I just die cut an outline of one in Basic black card stock.


The sentiment, stamped in Garden Green ink, was punched with a 1" circle punch, matted with a 1 1/4" Early Espresso circle and adhered to a piece of 5/8" burlap ribbon below tulle window.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  A Little Wild
Inks:  Black Memento, Garden Green, Watercolor pencils,
Papers:  Shimmer White, Whisper White, Early Espresso, Coffee Break DSP
Accessories:  Tulle(non SU), Stitched Square Framelits, 1" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 5/8" burlap ribbon, linen thread, dimensionals. Clear Wink of Stella, Dimensionals. Little Loves Framelit dies, Blender pen.
